Nibk (pads): reviews. Rating of brake pads

A key role in ensuring the safety in the operation of the vehicle is played by brake pads. The degree of their wear and tear depends on the life and safety of the driver and passengers. One of the most reliable are the Nibk pads, the reviews of which in most cases are positive. The article will deal specifically with them. Also, recommendations for the selection and installation of these parts will be given, in addition, the material contains real feedback on the Nibk pads.

A few words about the company

The Japanese company Nibk is the leader in the field of production and development of materials, of which brake pads are subsequently manufactured. Due to the fact that regular scientific research has been the basis of production, Nibk's pads are highly praised.

The company is known in the world automotive industry as a manufacturer of high-quality automobile brakes and shoes. In many respects this company achieved thanks to a tandem of regular scientific developments and a vast material and technical base.

Developments in the field of creating cheap and effective materials for pads and discs have success and recognition all over the world. Together with the use of the most modern and perfect equipment, the introduction of the latest scientific developments, the company's priority is strict control over the quality of products, which makes Nibk the real "monster" in the global automotive industry.

It's quite obvious that the company's products are supplied to more than 30 countries, and it allows us to use brake pads in a rather wide model automotive spectrum (American, Japanese, Russian and European models come here).

In general, the pads of this company are characterized by high wear resistance and reliability.

How often do I need to change the brake pads?

There is no single answer to this question. Of course, there is a very common opinion that the brake pads change at any particular time. But it's not entirely true.

The pads change to the manufacturer's recommended time only when the vehicle operation recommendations given by the same manufacturer of brake pads are observed. For example, if Nibk's pads are installed on the car, which are more intended for the regular mode of driving, and the driver prefers aggressive driving style, then these pads need to be changed much earlier than the time recommended by the manufacturer.

Pads that have been subjected to the load recommended by the manufacturer can be replaced after 15-20 thousand kilometers of run, while pads that have been subjected to harsh operating conditions, for example in rally cars, are replaced every 4-5 thousand kilometers.

Rating of brake pads

Brake pads of different firms, can have different characteristics. For example, as mentioned earlier, Nibk shoes are designed for drivers who prefer a quiet ride style. In general, the brake pad rating is as follows (rating is based on the ability of the pads to function under extreme conditions):

• 1st place: ATE - pads capable of performing their functions at temperatures up to eight hundred degrees Celsius.
• 2 nd place: "Ferodo" and Brembo: pads designed for aggressive sports driving.
• 3rd place: Nibk pads, designed for urban driving while meeting all the requirements and operating rules specified by the manufacturer.

Despite the fact that Nibk brake pads are not heavy-duty and capable of withstanding a long operation in aggressive driving mode, they are among the most reliable in the spectrum of models intended for urban driving style.

Briefly about brake pads

Brake pads are a kind of "consumable material". However, they must be of high quality, which will ensure the safety of life and health of the driver and passengers. Undoubtedly, the original brake pads win in quality and service life, but they are difficult to find.

The thing is that 90 percent of the produced spare parts are sent for installation in serial cars, and only the rest is delivered to the auto parts stores. The cost of the original is quite high, but with their purchase you can not think about the reliability of the details.

An excellent alternative to the original are the aftermarket spare parts. Here you can find both original and third-party pads. Quality does not cause complaints. In general, spare parts are supplied from the same manufacturers, which are engaged in the production of originals.

The price for brake pads can vary from 30 to 70 percent of the cost of original spare parts. This is due to the fact that these parts are subject to a few understated requirements for quality and safety, but they are not critical.

Also, the reason for the somewhat understated cost is a certain hierarchy of automakers. For example, a company producing pads for cars "Porsche" and "Audi", will evaluate its product above the company that produces parts for sale on the market. Thus, with the same level of quality, the price of the brake pads of the second firm will be somewhat lower.

Brake pads supplied to developing countries are much cheaper than the original ones (their cost is 20-30 percent of the price of original spare parts). They have understated requirements to the norms and conditions of their production, and they can not boast of a long service life. Products of the brand in question will cost the car enthusiast about 500 rubles and more for one piece.

Recommendations for the choice of brake pads

When choosing spare parts, you should pay attention to the following points:

1. External state.
2. On the packaging it is necessary to find a certification mark, the correct one is as follows: ECE: R90 or 90R.
3. The brake shoe, strangely enough, can have cracks, but they should not exceed length more than 2 mm, and also be deep. Support plates should not be bent and snug against the base.
4. The friction part must be clean, without foreign objects, although there may be microscopic chips, inclusions of paintwork, and small bulges.
5. Parameter of the indicator of operating temperature. The higher it is, the better it goes.

In addition to the above recommendations, it should be remembered that it is better to buy pads from sellers with a proven reputation, it is worthwhile to carefully study the certification mark of the part, as well as not to "lead" on a loud brand and low cost.

The above information will allow you to purchase high-quality and reliable brake pads that will last a long time and ensure safety when operating a vehicle.

Signs of wear

Perhaps the surest sign that the speakers are worn out is the appearance of a characteristic squeak when braking. This triggers the wear sensor of the brake pads. It is a metal plate.

Also, the wear rate of the front brake pads of Nibk can be affected by the ingress of dirt or foreign objects into the space between the brake disc and the shoe. If you notice a slight vibration or beating while driving the car while pressing the brake pedal, then it may be necessary to clean the contamination that interferes with the normal operation of the parts.

The main feature, which serves as a signal for replacing the pads, is not to return the pedal to its original position when you press it. This means that the part is completely worn out and requires an immediate replacement. To make sure of the "diagnosis", you can look at the space under the wheel hood. If it has a dark plaque with inclusions of metal, this indicates that the friction lining has completely erased, and the deformation of the part itself has begun.

At critical wear of the shoe, the plate comes in contact with the brake disc, and a grating occurs. In addition, indirect reasons for the failure of parts, may be: an increase in brake fluid consumption, deterioration in braking, as well as a large "stroke" of the pedal responsible for braking the vehicle. However, it is worth noting that indirect signs of wear of the pads can also speak of other malfunctions.

Uneven pad wear

Often there is such situation, as uneven wear of pads on the car. For example, the left front shoe worn out more than the right. The problem is a malfunction of the support, therefore, when replacing the pads, you should pay time and attention to repair it.

Brake discs

For best braking performance, it is better to install the pads of the same firm as the disc. For example, for city driving style Nibk pads fit well, it is logical that they will function more efficiently and longer with Nibk brake discs.

This fact is confirmed by numerous positive responses about the Nibk decks and their disks.

Interchangeability

As mentioned earlier, Nibk's pads are excellent for installation on cars from Europe, America, Japan and Russia. For example, the front brake pads "VAZ" can be exchanged for Nibk spare parts and at the same time not only replace the part, but also win in ensuring the most effective braking.

With such a replacement, the motorist even wins, receiving a ratio that is ideal from all sides: price-quality. For example, new pads "VAZ" can be bought for an amount ranging from 800 to 1000 per front, and from 700 to 900 for the rear. Brake pads Nibk, reviews this fact also confirm, having the same price range, much better. So the choice is obvious.

Owners of KIA: feedback on Nibk pads

Judging by the numerous reviews of these brake pads, they are really effective and reliable. However, they say that they wear out very quickly, "sin" with ineffective braking, and also erase the brake disc sufficiently.

But, it seems, most likely, motorists wrote such reviews after they managed to get on a fake. Most of the reviews speak of ideal braking, an acceptable lifespan (20-30 thousand kilometers of run), as well as a "humane" attitude to the brake disc.

Most owners of Nibk discs notice that the disc is worn out by the time of the third replacement of the pads, that is, approximately 40-60 thousand kilometers of the rally.

Adverse factors of using Nibk pads

As mentioned earlier, Nibk brake pads are designed for driving in urban conditions. This is indicated and recommended by the parts manufacturers. It is with a calm and measured style of driving that they effectively brake the car, and their service life corresponds to the declared manufacturer.

If the pads are used in extreme driving conditions, they will wear out much more. Firstly, because of the discrepancy between the friction material and the degree of loading, and secondly, because of the discrepancy between the maximum temperature of the shoes, and the temperature to which they heat up when this kind of situation arises. In this case, the braking will not be so effective, well, and their service life will decrease at times.

Nibk Quality Guarantee

Nibk has a leading position in the world of production of spare parts for cars, including brake pads and disks. Pads are able to withstand 20-30 thousand kilometers of the rally, following the recommendations specified by the manufacturer.

Results

Summing up, it is worth saying that the choice of brake pads depends on the style of driving, and the field of activity where the car will be used. For example, for city driving, Nibk brake pads are ideal, and car owners' reviews are a direct proof of this.

In addition, the company produces not the most expensive parts, which makes their products more popular with a wide mass of motorists. These pads are quite common, as they are effective under the conditions of their operation.

However, it should be understood that in the deterioration of the quality of inhibition, the pads are not always "guilty". The reason may be hidden in the malfunction of the support, poor-quality brake fluid and problems with the braking system as a whole. Therefore, regular inspection of the vehicle should be carried out.
